Atmosphere, wait- staff, and gluten free bread were superior. Brussel sprouts side ( which we have had at the Culinary Institute in NY) was beyond "roasted" and lacked taste.
Inconsistent palate results on entrees for five people...Presentation was beautiful but flavor did not meet expectations.

Now, my partner and I travel a fair bit and have had some great food together in the last two years including 5-star restaurants in Boston, San Francisco and Raleigh. However, she and I agree that this was the most outstanding meal we've had in years. It started with being seated just as the sun was setting over the sound...

The Speaker at my Veterinary Conference recommended for all of us to try this restaurant...said the Brussel Sprouts were to die for! We made reservations and we were not disappointed. I had the Lobster Ravioli stuffed with claw meat presented with the Tail in a lemon butter sauce. I asked for a piece of bread so I could enjoy the...

You can go out to dinner anytime, but when you want something really special, memorable..Kimball's Kitchen is the destination!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kimball's Kitchen. First off, don't dine here if you are concerned about price, dine here because you want a memorable experience. Yes it's pricey but every once in a while you need to...

We arrived 6:15 for 7 reservation. First: great drinks, well-made at the friendly bar. We were seated on time at 7 to endure perfectly horrible service. Hubby knows his wine and ordered a french chardonnay which took a while to arrive... but when it did - Yikes! it was a Sauvignon Blanc which would've been opened had he not stopped...

I had never been to the Sanderling but have heard about it for years. I was not disappointed! The meal at Kimball's Kitchen was one of the best that I've ever had in OBX. The scallops were incredible and we were treated so well by the staff. I definitely will go back and highly recommend it!

I've dined at Kimball's Kitchen yearly for many years dating back to when it was the Left Bank. I've always loved the setting where you can watch the sunset over the sound and enjoy a high caliber meal. Our reservation was for 8pm and arrived around 7:15 just before sunset. We enjoyed cocktails and apps at the bar with fantastic...

We came to this restaurant exactly one year ago and swore we would never be back. Thank goodness we persuaded ourselves to return. The service, food and wine were all outstanding. Under the new chef everything has turned around and improved by 100%. Waitress Anastasia was very attentive and informative, general manager checked up on us twice. The tuna tartare...

We are sorry to learn of your experience via Tripadvisor. If it was felt the food had an adverse reaction prior to leaving or even during the night that is something we would want to learn about directly.

If a special evening of dining is in your plans, look no further than Kimball’s Kitchen, formerly the Left Bank. Located on the Soundside of the Sanderling Resort, Kimball’s offers glorious view of the Currituck Sound and its inspiring sunsets, outstanding service and a world class menu. Kimball’s Kitchen offers everything that is special about both the Sanderling and the Outer Banks. Spotlighting local, grass-fed prime steaks, freshly caught local seafood, and an extensive raw bar selection, the restaurant creates a great dining experience with an upscale coastally casual environment. Of particular note are the numerous varieties of local oysters and the classic seafood tower, with a daily changing list of locally caught fish and seafood. Daily pasta and risotto specials are accompanied by an extensive Wine Spectator wine and champagne list. Children are welcome and are served smaller portions of the standard menu with a 50% price break.
